In a recent interview with one of Edgecombe’s best citizens the writer was told that in his opinion, Zeno Moore, the Farm Demonstration agent, had done far more good for the people of that county than any man. His business was to help the people solve their problems in farming and home life and he had brought the best and most economical methods to those who in many cases could not find out such things without outside help.
In our own county we have hundreds of examples of the work done by our former Demonstration agent, Mr. Holliday, we see hundreds of farmers who have greatly improved their whole system of farming from their contact with Mr. Holliday. When we take the value of the great number of fine pastures and additional crop yield, we find this county many times richer. What would some of us do next year when the stock law coming into effect if Mr. Holliday had not encouraged us to prepare “Permanent Pastures.”
